    Are we still protesting pagan holidays or did we surrender?

    No. Halloween celebrates children having an opportunity to play dress up and pretend they are those characters they're costumed as. I've worked retail. Not many witch costumes. Plenty of super hero outfits, mythological figures like unicorns . I would never say children are celebrating...

    Interesting. Remember it was you who first judged communications here as negativity.

    Are we still protesting pagan holidays or did we surrender?

    I'm not a Buddhist. If I were I'd recollect the Dali Lama leading a band of armed monks in a revolution against the Chinese army. I'm a Christian. I recall Jesus responding against the blasphemy of the money changers before his father's house. His calling the Pharisee's and Sadducees vipers...

    Does God desire the salvation of all mankind?

    Jesus taught that no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them. Jesus taught in parables not all would understand so to be saved. Paul said the natural mind cannot understand the things of the spirit because they are foolishness to him. Only the Holy Spirit can make that change of...

    Nailed it! 😊 ''...they went out from us because they were not one with us. '' True. Even when they were still in Christ's presence they were never one with him.

    Are we still protesting pagan holidays or did we surrender?

    Amen. Just enjoy God. Do you wonder if all the negativity some seek to interject this holy-day season, if they refuse gifts people give them? Something else too. The focus on paganism that seeks repeatedly to invalidate Christs-mass. If we allow that agenda to influence our faith and...

    Does God desire the salvation of all mankind?

    In fairness many don't know what Biblical Exegesis entails. It is true that it involves more than the notion the Bible proves the Bible is true. https://www.compellingtruth.org/biblical-exegesis.html ''A variety of principles are generally used when seeking to produce good biblical exegesis...

    Genuine research would not arrive at the conclusion Yule, winter solstice, not Samhain for that matter, are demonic. Pagans is from the word, Pagani, meaning country dweller. Nothing demonic there either. While Heathen refers to those who were dwellers on the heath. Again, nothing demonic...

    Those copies can be disappearing because people don't want them in the library.

    Are we still protesting pagan holidays or did we surrender?

    Here's the thing. You walked away from God and the faith for your own reasons. Now you can't walk away from a community of Christians but instead inject negativity into all discussions you participate in. That can be seen, righteously judged, as hypocritical. Your anger is now your...

    Rename the News Forum, the "politics forum"

    Those school board meetings sound like what can happen in Bible discussion forums, or news and politics. Opinions are passionate. And we have a right and a duty to be concerned about any matter government , operating in our name, purports to insist is in our best interest. A nation of sheep...

    That's not true. The Christmas tree is a celebration for Christians of the birth of Christ. And though there is no date in scripture as to the precise date, December 25th is our date of honoring Jesus' birth. Is it near Yule? Winter's Solstice? The rebirth of the sun? Yes. How perfect a...
